B12 tournament turning into the ISU invitational
-
We could use a Momcilovic

@FarmerJayhawk said in Other bball games:
@Texas-Hawk-10 Xavier was always going to start. The only real competition was Tyshawn vs Brady
And Brady likely would’ve started over Tyshawn that year had he been available from the beginning of the season because Self viewed him as KU’s best perimeter defender at the time.

Some absolute bangers on right now

We sure could. Gilbert, Ward are others that just play winning ball
-
Lets go Wolfpack
-
Gonna be weird will all these 1 seeds losing it NC state can pull it off.
-
I DID NOT see that coming. i thought Iowa St had a good chance winning tonight and I felt Houston will go farther in the NCAA and I still feel that way but I did not see this coming
-
Ugh this game blows

The bubble teams aren’t liking what’s happening in DC right now.

@Crimsonorblue22 Did you see this one? https://x.com/BadSportsRefs/status/1769083732101611564?s=20. It was called a foul on Tyler Wahl. CBS which was kissing Purdue tail all day kept saying oh come on now, that should be a no call.
-
Houston was missing a starter? Precautionary? Or are they really missing him big time?
-
@wissox I sent this to you.
-
@wissox the big that hurt his shin, bruised last game. He also had stitches in his hand from earlier game. Maybe ours. He started but went out pretty quick, guessing they were wanting to get him healed up. He’s a tough guy. Got stitches during a game and came back and played.
-
Virginia getting absolutely embarrassed by Colorado St. in a First Four game losing by 26 with a little over 2 minutes left and still haven’t even scored 40 points yet.
-
And Virginia finally reached 40 points for the game!
-
Colorado St. 67 - Virginia 42
-
Slap to the face of Oklahoma because they were one of the teams Virginia was chosen over. That was simply put a bid for the ACC they had no business making this season.
-
Mildcats bounced first round NIT by Iowa lol
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 When Self is done I want nothing to do with Bennett and have said that for years when his name was randomly brought up.
They had the luckiest title they stole from Tech.
His basketball philosophy is atrocious as he slows the game down which only brings inferior opponents into play. It’s like a football team running the ball a lot to burn clock and minimize possessions…same thing with Bennett.
He’s more well know for the first ever 16 seed loss than the fluke title.
Nice guy but horrible ball coach
-
Oh man, now that’s something.

ya dude scored 30 on them , they losing some too 4 to be exact , and listening to Jerome may be more. Was asked if there were some they wanting back and then others told maybe to move on, his response was ummm how can I answer this the best without being rude.- -He says he think that’s something that should be discussed between him and staff- - not media lol.
They are for sure losing McNair , Guessan , Glover that they had been counting on all year and never played - -and then they are also losing Perry
-
I live in Fort Collins and have seen a lot of CSU. The sad part of last night is that the national narrative is how sorry Virginia is, how they didn’t deserve to get in…and nothing about how CSU actually played pretty well. Under-seeded and with a chip on their shoulder. I wouldn’t be surprised if they beat Texas too.
-
@focojayhawk I know nothing about them. Is the narrative that they deserved a better seed?
-
@wissox said in Other bball games:

The narrative is the Mountain West got jobbed on seeding. They have 6 teams in the tournament in the field, only SDSU and Utah St. are top 8 seeds. The other 4 are 10 or 11 seeds. CSU and Boise are each in First Four games as 10 seeds and New Mexico is an 11 seed. Based on their computer rankings, SDSU is seeded where their rankings are, but everyone else is multiple seeds lower than they should be. Most of the MWC teams should be in 6-9 seed range, not 10 or 11 seeds. 11th seed New Mexico is ranked in the top 25 of the NET, Kenpom, RPI, most advanced metrics meaning computers believe they should be a 6 seed, not an 11 seed that this year isn’t even an at large bid.
-
Montana St - - -Grambling St , pretty good game - 70-70 with 1:25 to play
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Apparently the MW got penalized in seeding because so much of the teams’ metrics were earned playing each other. But hasn’t that been true of the Big 12 for years?
-
Cam Martin sighting for Boise. He just got T-d up for throwing a ball very lightly at a guy who tossed the ball at him very lightly who also got T-d up. Pretty laughable T really unless there was something said.
-
We should have a thread tracking former Jayhawks in the tournament… There are quite a few.

@bskeet Here’s a snippet I just read. 27. Tyon Grant-Foster, F, Grand Canyon Grant-Foster is one of the most inspiring stories in college basketball this season. His career began at Kansas as a bench role player before he transferred to DePaul. At halftime of his first game with the Blue Demons, he collapsed in the locker room and had to have his heart shocked back into rhythm. He’s since had a heart surgery and defibrillator implanted in his chest. Medically cleared to return to the court, he signed with GCU where he’s become the WAC Player of the Year by averaging 19.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game. He’s great at getting to the free throw line (12th in the nation in FTA) and converting his freebies (77% FT).
This was from a SB nation top 50 players in the dance list. Interestingly I was at that DePaul game and never heard about what happened to him until i read that.

The guy he threw the ball at was Eddie Lampkin- -and I think he played at TCU ? - Lampkin flushed the ball on Martin then stepped over him first then dropped the ball on him and then Martin threw it back at Lampkin
-
Cincinnati needed overtime but gets past San Francisco in the opening round of the NIT. Would be pretty funny if a B12 team could win both tournaments. Think they may have a better shot with the NCAA one.
-
@wissox The seeding is questionable like @Texas-Hawk-10 said. The part that was a bummer to me is that likely no one on this board heard a recap of the CSU/UVA game and heard positive things about CSU. They’ve actually been a very entertaining watch all season and now they’re lumped into the ‘worst game ever’ because of the narrative about their opponent. Ultimately the CSU story (and the whole MW story) only changes when they win more games in March. Besides SDSU last year, the conference has struggled quite a bit in the tourney.
-
Welp time for BYU to start. - - Let’s go big 12, pulling for everyone now prove the strength and toughness of this conference
-
Go BYU
-
Well BYU didn’t represent the league to well starting off. They never led for majority of the game, I think they led for like maybe a minute. - -not a good start
-
I didn’t see BYU run any of the screens they used at AFH where they would get one 3 point shooter open to draw the defense, then a second shooter took the open shot. It always seems like Big 12 coaches and teams play much harder and game plan better against KU than in the tournament.

They really looked out of sync all day today. They for the longest time was having to scramble on defense — you would find 2-3 BYU players all cluttered up trying to run their offense for quite awhile just out of sync
-
WOW – Texas leading Colorado St- - -39-32 with 7 :30 to go in the game - - those baskets must be sealed shut
-
Is the Texas team mostly seniors? That weaver kid is a hustler.
-
@jayballer67 Score was 27-11 at half! Tex/COLST. Colorado state made a pretty good comeback after that disaster.
-
I hate to even bring up the OAK-UK game. Grizzlies are angry tonight
-
UK struggling tonight. Trailing Oakland by 3 at 11:55 of 2nd half.

TRUE - – Actually the lower seeds haven’t done to bad for at least awhile today. -Hope ours isn’t like that. Actually I do have in one of my many brackets lol - --I actually got U Conn & Tennessee --I know I know- -but Tennessee not bad
